No confirmation as of 7 p.m.

So far, we have been unable to confirm reports that Kelvin Sampson has been fired.

We’re having trouble confirming a few other reports, too. CBS is reporting on its Web site that five players â€” D.J. White, Lance Stemler, Eric Gordon, Adam Ahlfeld and Kyle Taber â€” were told by athletic director Rick Greenspan that Sampson would not be coaching Saturday.

While it does appear that at least a few of those players sought and were granted a meeting with Greenspan to share their thoughts on Sampson, our sources do not believe that Greenspan revealed any information about Sampson at that time.

Also, the Hoosiers will practice tomorrow, as planned. They are not scheduled to leave for Evanston until Saturday morning. It has not made any changes to when it plans to leave, nor has the travel roster changed.
